Orlando Pirates skipper Hlatshwayo happy to let Jele lift the trophy

Orlando Pirates captain Thulani 'Tyson' Hlatshwayo will be happy to share the trophy lifting duties with veteran defender Happy Jele, should the Buccaneers triumph against Bloemfontein Celtic in the MTN8 final at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening.

The match is set for a 6 pm kick-off in Durban.

Hlatshwayo is in his first season with Bucs but has been skippering the side because club captain Happy Jele is no longer a regular starter in the centre of the Sea Robbers defence.
